Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1962--PAGE 6-- Citizens Can Be Proud At New Wing Opening The official opening of the newest addition to the Oshawa General Hos- pital takes place today, and the people of Oshawa and the whole dis- trict served by the hospital have every reason to be proud. It was their magnificent response to a challenge that made the new wing possible. This is a dynamic community in a dynamic area. The growth has been remarkable, but it has placed an enor- mous strain on theservices that must be provided to guard the health and welfare of our society. Not the least of these services is hospital care. For the second time in a decade the demands upon the General Hospital outgrew the available facilities -- and for the second time, the people of. the city and district faced up to challenge of those demands and actu- ally over-subscribed the minimum amount required for the building of a new wing that would provide 220 beds. The new wing in fact has a few more than the 220 beds originally planned. But it provides much more than badly needed bed-space. It gives the dedicated hospital staff more room to manoeuvre in various departments. And it adds something, the value of which cannot be measured in any material way: A chapel, or quiet room, outfitted in such a way that it can be used by persons of all religious faiths, of all denominations, and sects. Perhaps it is in the quiet of this room that the meaning of the hospital's work can best be under- stood -- the constant, round-the-clock struggle against suffering and death. Let's Get The Facts It was clear by the mid-Fifties that Canada was developing a chronic unemployment problem. In the 1957 and 1958 elections, Mr. Diefenbaker promised a solution. He led his party to power--and the problem remained. Now, in another election campaign, his opponents are promising solutions. Mr. Douglas says that he could end unemployment in a year; Mr. Pearson isa little more cautious, but not much. We do not think it is possible to provide this country with full employ- ment in a year, or even two. The root causes are too deeply embedded ; there are too many influences over which Canada has no control. We do not think it could be done even if the federal government exercised emergency powers to impose the strictest controls on profits, wages, prices, production, imports, exports and credit. But we hope we are wrong, and we should be very happy to admit the error. Unfortunately, the people who say they have the'solution are not giving out the details. They say "we will do this" but they do not say how they will do it, and until they do, one must either have blind faith in their ability or harbor an enormous and persistent doubt. If they have firm plans for the ending of unemployment, they should let us know about them now. It is such detail, not the glitter of promises, that provides thoughtful voters with the data for making a responsible choice on June 18. Misleading Statistics 'A recent news story, based on figures produced by a Dominion Bureau of Statistics survey, reported that Canadians spend 9.3 per cent of their personal income on their auto- mobiles, 9.1 per cent on their clothing and only 0.7 per cent on education. The report has enraged the Peter- borough Examiner, which comments: "The average weekly wage, accord- ing to the Dominion Bureau of Statis- ties, was $75 for 1960. Seven-tenths- of-one-percent of this is 52.5 cents; for a year it is $27.30. Which prop- erty owner, average or not, got away with this pittance on his municipal taxes for education? ... Perhaps we have tackled the arithmetic from the 'wrong direction. The gross amount of personal income, according to the DBS, was $27,442,000,000 in the same year. Seven-tenths of one per cent of this amount is $192,094,000; in other words this, according to DBS reckon- ing, is the total amount of money from personal incomes spent on edu- cation. How can this be? In 1960, the Hon James Allan demanded taxation to the tune of $230,000,000 just to pay for Ontario's provincial share. This takes no account of the share of the other nine provinces, the municipal levy, the amounts provided by the Dominion government for adult education, retraining, universi- ties, research, film boards, recreation, broadcasting and goodness knows what." All the money for education comes out of the personal income of tax- papers, one way or another. There is no other source of money, no mint in the sky for the use of airy politicians. The Examiner concludes: '"'What des- tructive nonsense that is for a public body to put out." 'Land Isnt Unlimited There have been some emotional appeals to the Canadian government to permit unrestricted entry of Hong Kong refugees to Canada. To do so would be neither practical nor charit- ble. ' If we accept all the Hong Kong yefugees who want to come to Can- 'ada, we must also accept all who want to come here from part of the world. Why accepts Chinese and res- trict West Indians? In no time at all, this would be an impoverished nation crying for help from the more for- i with the unhappy refugees Ope Oshawa Times T.

Time and again we hear about Canada's great open space, and we are told that we cannot expect to live in isolation while other parts of the world are crowded and famished. We are told much less often about the difficulties of living in a great part of Canada, and about the economic capabilities of 18 million people in extending aid to the world's needy hundreds of millions. We can do better than the accep- tance of 100 Hong Kong families. But neither our lands nor our resour- ces are unlimited. Bible Thought And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God. -- I. Corinthians 6:11. Your life may have been a sinful failure, but if you will turn yourself over to God, He will put you into His washing machine and you will come out spotless, For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness. -- I. Corin- thians 1:18. As people disregard safety pre- cautions so they also disregard the power of God through the cross, COMMON MARKET BRITAIN AND HER COMMONWEALTH COMMITMENTS a REPORT FROM U.K. Fishermen Demand Change In Limits By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--The British traw!- ing industry is demanding re- taliation for the action of the Danish government in deciding to end the Anglo-Danish Fisher- ies agreement of 1959. This agreement allowed British trawlers to fish up to within six miles of the coast of the Faroe Islands, but a 12-mile fishing limit is now demanded by the Danish authorities, This comes hard on, the British deep sea fishing industry, as Iceland also had established and main- tained a 12-mile fishing limit and Norway is doing the same. What has caused the British trawling industry to seek retal- ization is the fact that Britain alone still adheres to the old three-mile fishing limit around its coasts. Foreign vessels of any nationality may fish with perfect legality up to that three- mile limit. The trawlermen YOUR HEALTH Pare Carbon Monoxide Block To Oxygen By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Can carbon monoxide poisoning ieave bad after-effects? My husband was working on the car a year or two ago. I told him to leave the garage doors open but he didn't. He came staggering into the house 15 minutes later and said he couldn't breathe or move his arms. He got better, but had a headache for several days and Says now he hasn't felt well since then. MRS, L, B He was lucky to get out alive because monoxide works fast. If he had stumbled when inside the garage insieau of managing to stagger out, a few short minutes would have worked tragedy. Each fall I call attention to monoxide, but people still refuse to realize what a dangerous poison ti is. It has no oder. You may smell fumes from an en- gine, or smoke from a faulty furnace, but what you - smell doesn't hurt you. What you don't smell can kill in a matter of minutes. The after - effects of such poisoning are difficult to pre- dict. Here's why. The action of monoxide is to bind itself to the red corpuscles --the blood cells which are sup- posed to carry oxygen. As mon- oxide gets into the lungs, the molecules of gas attach them- selves to the blood cells as they pass through the lungs seeking fresh oxygen. The presence of the monoxide on a cell prévents it from ac- cepting pure oxygen and trans- porting it throughout the body. The brain, as I've pointed out in articles on other topics, is most sensitive to the lack of oxygen being carried by the blood. Complete shut-off of cir culation can damage the brain beyond full recovery in four to six minutes. In the case described in to- day's letter, oxygen was not fully shut off, but the supply was depleted enough to begin affecting his brain. The head- ache was one sign. The stagger- ing was the reait of lack of mental coordination. He had a close call, Now the red cells in our blood don't last forever. They disin- tegrate in from 80 to 120 days and are replaced by fresh, new ones. Thus a victim of monox- ide will have a complete new supply of blood. devoid of the poison, within three months at most. If, while the poisoned cells re- mained, some organ of the body was damaged, tnat could be a permanent, or at any rate a long-lasting after-effect. Since the brain is the most sensitive organ, that would be the first vuinerable point. I would question whether, in the absence of behavior symptoms, this victim suffered any permanent ill-effects It could be that he got the day- lights scared out of him. It cer- tainly would have scared me! What's making him not feel well since is very likely the nervous aftermath of such a close brush with death I'll bet he never works on the car again without leaving the doors wide open and, prefer- ably, backing the car part way out so the monoxide is imme- diately diluted by the atmos- phere Dear Dr. Molner: What do you think about feeding babies canned soups at the age of 3 or 4 months? Isn't there too much salt in them for babies? MRS. P. 0. No, It's quite all right to feed them canned soups at that age. NOTE TO MRS. C. S.: A slightly enlarged liver may not be cause for concern. The edge of the liver often can be felt (without significance) in people of thin build. The more serious liver ailments include hepatitis, cirrhosis, and some types of heart disease--but all of these will exhibit other symptoms. claim this is doing incalculable damage to their fishing in their own home waters. PIRACY AND VANDALISM The Chamber of Commerce of five Yorkshire fishing towns have taken the lead in_ the move for retaliatory measures. They have demanded a_ six- mile fishing limit around the British coasts to stop "piracy and maritime' vandalism" on the part of foreign fishing ves- sels. In a special report issued by these five bodies, it is point- ed out that the coasts of York- shire and Northumberland are being fished by large fleets of foreign trawlers, some bring- ing factory ships with them. Instead of taking their catches back to their home ports, they land the fish at Grimsby, thereby depressing prices on that market. Poles, Danes, Germans and Russians converge on the profitable Brit- ish inshore fishing, and the French "nip smartly across the Channel." NETS DESTROYED The report makes even more serious complaints of vandal- ism. It says: "There could be little com- plaint with the present three- mile limit were it not for the vast numbers of foreign trawl- ers and their ruthless methods. From Land's End to John O'Groats the story was the same -- piracy and maritime vandalism. What else could one call this deliberate, pre- meditated destruction of our fishermen's gear?" From October, 1960, to April, 1961, the line loss in Bridling- ton' alone was about $3,000, plus the value of the catches lost. Foreign trawlers constant- ly ignored the accepted code of giving way to line vessels and sailed through flags and signs, destroying the lines. Breeding grounds were also being ruined through the use by foreign trawlers of small mesh nets. The Chambers of Commerce have put what they believe to be a strong case before the government. They say: "The British government has recognized the exceptional de- pendence of the economy of the Faroe Islands on fisheries and has agreed to the extension of its limits. It appears, however, to be heartlessly complacent while the livelihood of our own inshore fishermen is placed in jeopardy by the foreigners, and hundreds of seaside towns face economic disaster," BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Oshawa's_ welfare _ situation showed a great improvement with only 1411 persons left on the relief rolls. Col. J. F. Grierson resigned as city solicitor after 25 years service in that position. Sons of England lodges from Toronto, Lindsay, Port Perry and Whitby lodges joined with the Oshawa lodges in a church p parade and service at King Street United Church. J. C. Griffin. was general chairman of the 1937 Rotary Fair, Charles Bowra and Dave Tod were chairmen of the Ro- tary Parades. T. K. Creighton was appoint- ed city solicitor as successor to Col. J. F. Grierson. Delegates from Oshawa and district churches of the Western Section, Oshawa Presbyterial of the Women's Missionary Society convened at Brougham United Church for the Society's 10th meeting. Mrs. Miller of Brough- am welcomed the ladies to the church, Mrs. W, Gee, president of Greenwood, presided and Miss May Brown, secretaxy, presented the report of the last meeting. Joan Cuthbertson of St. An- drew's United was awarded the Junior 1 Medal as winner of the WCTU contest held in St. Andrew's United Church. The contest, open to the United Churches of the city, was under the supervision of Mrs. Alex W. Bell. Plans for a proposed new sep- arate school to be erected on the Albert street side of the F. W. Cowan property was being eh by the Separate School oar Grading was in progress on the new Thomas street bridge being rebuilt to replace the one washed out by spring floods. The bridge was designed to be of modern structure costing an estimated $3600. Reports submitted at a Board of Education meeting showed out of & total of 1065 enrolled at the OCVI an average of 998 Students attended in April while 3607 of the 3834 total en- rolment attended the public schools. Fourteen local Scouts repre- sented four Oshawa troops at Angus, near Barrie, for the ninth annual Bey Scout tree planting ceremony. The Scouts were J. Vallantine, F.' Robin- son, George Carfe, R. Play- wright, E. Hilts, E. Owen, C, Bartychuck, D. Crossman, G. Hayton, C. Snell, J. Carey,-J. Hurst, E. Pym and R. Crouter. OTTAWA REPORT Canadian Goods Put On Display By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The first Canadian Samples Show held in Toronto last week brought 121 Canadian manufacturers face-to-face with 121 top - flight U.S. retailers flown in as guests of the Canas dian government. It was really a "get ac- quainted'"' exhibition for both sides, imaginatively planned by Trade Minister George Hees to show U.S. buyers that Canadian goods offer smart design and good workmanship at. competi- tive prices, and to reveal to our sometimes sluggard manufac- turers that a rich and eager market exists outsde "Punkey- doodles Corners." In the two - day exhibition, Canada sold the U.S. on its manufacturing capabilities; the U.S. sold Canada on the im- mense potentialities of its retail market; and Hon. George Hees sold himself to everyone as an inspired human dynamo. "There can be no doubt this guy Hees is a going concern," said the director of Bell Supply Co. of Toronto. A have done phenomenally 'QUEEN' S PARK Boston Tea Party--at least no major appliance manufacturer n the U.S. today makes electric > kettles. well here," added this manu- facturer of decorative wall plaques, who had to shut his or- der book after selling two years' production. "One buyer here represented a chain of 2,000 stores in the mid-west; another told me his New York store has a turnover of $7,000,000,000 a year. This leads to a type of or- der we just don't see in Can- ada," Mr. Hees has opened up new vistas to Canadian manufac- turers by this enterprising ven- ture. I had certain opinions about this crowd before -- but I've changed them."" One exhibitor said _ that, thanks to the devaluation of the Canadian dollar, he can .now sell his product duty-paid and freight - paid in the northeast states for the same dollar fig- ure as he sells to Canadian stores just down the street. I saw one manufacturer's ex- hibit consisting only of 50 elec- tric kettles. As a result, Can- ada will almost certainly now sell kettles to the Yankees, who have hardly used them since the Federal Election Ontario Preview By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- You don't hear much federal election talk around these buildings. This does not _ necessarily mean there is not either interest or activity. What it does mean is that so far as federal affairs go it is still pretty well "'business as usual" at this seat of govern- ment On the outside most of the in- dividual members apparently are working -- some of them hard, some going through the motions, Of the leaders Premier Ro- barts is making a few appear- ances. And he was prompted into an 'I Jove you John"' state- ment on the platform by the wide discussion -- and for the most part wide and pointless discussion -- as to whether he was or whether he wasn't ac- tively supporting Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker. But for the most, part he is sticking to his chores of doing his best to run the province-- which can be a fair-sized job on its own. Liberal Leader Wintermeyer is hard at work. He is travelling with the national leader, L. B. Pearson, throughout the prov- ince and giving up much of his time for federal affairs. One wouldn't say his heart wasn't in it. However, his prin- cipal desire most probaby! is to get the business over with so that the party can have some time to devote to the province. For the past year it has given it little attention--or money. N.D.P, Leader Donald Mac- Donald, of course, is in it up to his neck and down to his feet again. But Don so likes an audience he would undoubtedly go to the Koon - Soon republic to preach his word if there were such a republic and it had elections. The general atmosphere, how- ever, is one of not too much in- terest. Our own affairs here are get- ting to the point that probably not only the Liberals look on the vote as something to get out of the way so we can get down to our own fighting. All three parties now, and long before now, actually have been fighting Ontario's next election. And as this promises to be one of the top battles in the province's history. even these very early stages have quite a gripping interest on the participants. FEW PATS Even that old weapon of pat- on-the-back which a provincial government has with which to help federal colleagues in power is not being used too much. If it really worked at it the government here could be doing a lot to play up some of the steps of the Diefenbaker gov- ernment, With a great many things such as housing and welfare be+ ing shared between the two gove ernments there could be a wealth of announcements and other publicity steps to build them up. _ just one "sample" ; 900 worth of his Norge Fiesta . electric range.

Small- wonder this fine Canadian prod- uct made a hit with the U.S, visitors. "This 'samples show' is a wonderful way to contact the: right people," said the saleg manager handling this stove, "We are meeting here the peo- ple who sct the trend in con«* sumer marketing." "This guy Hees is a dynamo, " chipped in another exhibitor. "If any Canadian manufacturer does not go along with him, he is a damn fool." This first Canadian Samples Show is to be followed by others at Montreal, Winnipeg and Van- couver. Next year Mr. Hees plans a Canadian samples show right in the heart of the Euro- pean Common Market. By his many-pronged export drive, he expects our sales abroad to soar by five hundred million. dollars this year. By bringing these U.S. buyers into Canada, Hon. George (Go- ing Concern) Hees adds yet an- other of his "firsts" to help our manufacturers join in our z00m- ing export drive and to create more jobs in Canada. And incidentally he poses the question: "How valid is the Liberal Party claim that they can 'get things moving' in Canada?" For in 22 years of government they never produced any of these imaginative aids to our manufacturers; and their choice to take over George Hees' de- partment is a former civil serv- ant named Sharp who, as dep- uty minister of that depart- ment, presided over the build- ing up of the devastating sur- plus of imports over our ex- ports, which Mr. Hees has now finally corrected. again Women Who Drink | Too Much Now recognized by the Ameri- can Medical bal Assooietion aa disease, alcoholism makes many a woman's life tragic beyond measure.
